Create Your Custom Monthly Payroll Calendar
Use this monthly payroll calendar request form to create a customized pay schedule for your business. The calendar includes the current year and next year in a single PDF, then is emailed to you after the request is submitted.
Monthly payroll calendar planning
A monthly payroll schedule pays employees once per month and typically creates 12 pay dates in a year. This schedule can be simpler to administer than weekly, biweekly, or semi-monthly payroll, but it also requires careful planning because each payroll run covers a longer pay period. A clear monthly payroll calendar helps business owners track pay period start dates, pay period end dates, approval deadlines, check dates, direct deposit timing, and holiday-related banking changes.
Monthly payroll is often used for salaried teams, small administrative groups, and businesses that want fewer payroll processing cycles. Before choosing monthly payroll, employers should consider employee cash flow, state pay frequency rules, benefit deductions, payroll tax deposits, and internal review deadlines. A written payroll calendar helps everyone understand when time, approvals, and payroll changes need to be submitted.
